Faculty Handbook
UL Lafayette’s Faculty Handbook contains information on employment policies and procedures for all categories of faculty. The Faculty Handbook defines and describes the structures and process through which the faculty participates in institutional decision-making and governance, and the academic policies of the University in accordance with the University of Louisiana System and Board of Regents. The provisions of the Faculty Handbook are binding on the University and on individual faculty members. The Faculty Handbook governs the employment relationship of individual faculty members, and sets forth the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of faculty members and of the University. Faculty and academic administrators are expected to read the Faculty Handbook and to be familiar with its contents.
University policies are available online, as are many important procedures maintained by purchasing, human resources, and the environmental health and safety office. These websites will be updated as policies and procedures change. Please refer to them for issues not addressed in the Faculty Handbook.
